Doctor Appointments
I feel like I should be moving into the pediatricians office. My poor Mary Ann has managed to keep catching one thing on top of another thing. Feb 6, we went the pediatricians office for a cough that want go away, and we got a referral to the allergist, but want see the allergist until Feb 22. Feb 11 we took Mary Ann to Minor care, because she kept saying her right ear was hurting. They also do a strep throat swap while we are there, turns out she had strep throat. So we went home with a prescription of antibiotics, figuring we would be clear until the allergist appointment. Well Mary Ann still was complaining about her ear and coughing, but she was still going to school. Well, Thursday comes around I send her and Donnita to school like always. Not long after school starts I get a call from the school nurse asking me to come and pick Mary Ann up, while going to pick Mary Ann I make an appointment with the pediatricians office. We go from the school straight to the doctors office, we also made an appointment for Benjamin, he has a cough and runny nose, they put him on cetirizine. If he is not better by Tuesday I am to call the doctor for a prescription of antibiotics. Mary Ann sees the doctor and now she has a bad ear infection, plus we are sent for xray of her chest. Turns out Mary Ann has inflammation, this was determined after the xray. So all this weekend Mary Ann has been on two antibiotics, ear drops for the pain in her ear, plus the medicine she has already be taking. We did stop the antibiotics the minor care doctor gave her. I also stopped her dosage of cetirizine, so she can have her allergy test this Wednesday. I am hoping between the pediatrician and the allergist we can get Mary Ann back to her old self. I guess we are seeing her catch so much since this her first year in school. Hoping next year will be a little better in the sickness part.
Hoping for a sick free house it least in time for Spring.

Waiting
Playing the waiting game, for Mary Ann to get an appointment with the allergist. Mary Ann has developed a barking cough, like her sister Donnita. Hoping we don't have to wait long. It seems like Mary Ann has had this cough/cold since November. While we wait on the appointment we are trying a new medicine, while still taking all her other medicine. So now Mary Ann is on Singulair 4mg chewable (new medicine), Fluticasone Nasal Spray, and Cetirizine 5ml, once daily. Hoping the allergist can get her off some of this medicine.
Benjamin is also waiting to see the regular doctor in May, about the soy milk and his bowel movements. We have seen improvement with his bowel movements, but I think they can be a lot better. Besides all that, Benjamin is doing great, he is into everything. There is no stopping him, he has learned how to get over the baby gates, into the cabinets, there is nothing safe in the house anymore. Compared to his two sisters at this age he is talking more and can understand more words. Seems the more you have the faster they learn.
Donnita was waiting for the Science Fair to turn in her Science Project, the wait was over yesterday. She had her Science project done, since the middle of January. The only thing I did not like about it was that the teacher took ten points off the grade because she did not list who helped her, Donnita did not put anyone down because she done her science project herself. The teacher did not even take her word that we did not help her. I do believe the point of them doing the Science projects is for them to do them by theirselves not to have parents do them. Besides all that Donnita is doing great in school and is doing what is expected of her.
